This dialog is shown when you open or reload an analysis file in which the file path to one or more of the source files is no longer correct. The dialog may look different depending on which options are available for a particular source and whether you open the file or reload data.
Option |
Description |
The
following file could not be found |
Shows the name and path to the file that the linked analysis file is trying to open. |
What
do you want to do? |
|
Search
for the missing file |
Select this option to open the Search for Missing File dialog and automatically search for the file on your local computer or on the network. |
Browse
for the missing file |
Select this option to manually browse for the missing file. Use this option if the source file used by the linked analysis file has been renamed. |
Use
the file found in the same directory as the analysis |
Spotfire has found a file in the same directory as the analysis file with the same name as the linked source file. Use this option if you know that this is the file (if the file has been moved to this location). |
Leave
the resulting data table empty |
[Only available if the source was configured to use Always new data.] Opens the analysis, but the data tables based on the missing file will become empty. However, the information about which columns were included in the data table is kept, which may help fixing the analysis if the data table is replaced at a later stage. The complete data table history is available in the Data Table Properties, Source Information tab. See Embedded or Linked Data? for more information about different data loading options. |
Use
stored data |
[Only shown if data from the missing source is available in the analysis.] Select this option to open the analysis even though the connection to a linked source file is broken. Stored data will be used instead of new data from the missing source. Note that the data from this source may be older than intended, if the analysis was originally designed to load linked data from the original source each time the analysis was opened. See Embedded or Linked Data? for more information about different data loading options. |
Skip
this data table |
[Only shown when trying to reload a data table that for some reason cannot be reloaded. For example, it could be an embedded data table where some source is missing.] Select this option to skip reloading of this particular data table and keep the data that is available in the analysis. Note that the data in the analysis may be older than intended, if you perform a reload all operation and skip the reload for a certain data table. |
Apply
to all missing files in this analysis |
[Not available when reloading a single data source, and not for options that open other dialogs.] Select this check box to apply the selected solution to all missing files in the analysis. |
